A medical breakthrough makes the front of many of the papers tis morning,the Independent is one that leads with the news that

A 30-year-old Spanish woman has made medical history by becoming the first patient to receive a whole organ transplant grown using her own cells.
Experts said the development opened a new era in surgery in which the repair of worn-out body parts would be carried out with personally customised replacements

As does the Telegraph which says that

Surgeons replaced the damaged windpipe of Claudia Castillo, a 30-year-old mother of two, with one created from stem cells grown in a laboratory at Bristol University.
Because the new windpipe was made from cells taken from Ms Castillo's own body, using a process called "tissue engineering", she has not needed powerful drugs to prevent her body rejecting the organ.

Mother's life transformed says the Mail

The breakthrough is thanks to the pioneering work of British scientists, who are hailing a new dawn in transplant surgery which they believe could revolutionise the lives of millions.
They have won an international race to be the first to use adult stem cells to grow an entire organ and implant it successfully.

There was a transformation in British politics yesterday

Tories ditch spending promise as poll shows lead collapsing reports the Guardian

Labour backbenchers last night began to forecast a general election next summer after a day when the effects of the economic crisis slashed the Tory poll lead to three points and led David Cameron to abandon his commitment to match Labour spending plans if the Tories win power.
Cameron's move liberates him to offer tax or spending cuts, but left him isolated in opposition to the government's plans to use short-term financial help to boost consumer spending and help the economy

The Times says that

e Mr Cameron said that Labour’s “economic mismanagement” meant that Britain could already not afford planned increases in spending on public services beyond 2010. Mr Brown’s package of tax cuts and increased spending, expected next week, would worsen an already “unsustainable” budget deficit and saddle households with tax rises years into the future, he said.

The leak of the membership list of the BNP is widely covered,the same paper says that

Soldiers, police officers, teachers and doctors were in fear for their jobs last night after the entire membership list of the far-Right British National Party was posted on the internet.
More than 12,000 names, home addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail contact details were included in a major breach of data protection. The names and ages of schoolchildren with family memberships were disclosed. Some supporters were listed with comments such as “discretion required — employment concerns”. A number had their hobbies recorded.

The Telegraph reports that

Nick Griffin, the party leader, described the move as "a disgraceful act of treachery" by disgruntled former staff.
He said: "We'll be asking the police to investigate. Having spent a lot of money to secure our members' privacy we are disappointed that it's been breached."
Mr Griffin said that he had lodged a complaint with Dyfed-Powys Police on the grounds that the publication breached the members' human rights as well as data protection laws.

The Sun continues to focus on Baby P

BRAVE Baby P looks out trustingly at the camera dressed as a 1920s street urchin in a seemingly innocent and charming photo.
The sepia tint of the adorable studio portrait almost hides the horrific abuse he was already suffering, just weeks before his first birthday.

but the paper reports

Looked at in detail the picture — from the treasured photo album of Baby P’s grieving gran — shows:
BRUISING around his left eye, the swelling from a brutal punch to his delicate face.
A LINE of dots, perhaps scratches, below.
MARKS, which are almost certainly more bruising from another blow, next to his mouth

Child protection stifled by £30m computer system reports the Guardian

A government computer system intended to improve the handling of child abuse cases has led to social workers having to spend more than 100 hours for every case filling out forms, cutting the time they have to make visits.
Reports by two universities have revealed that the Integrated Children's System (ICS), launched in 2005 following the death of Victoria Climbié, is so laborious it typically takes more than 10 hours to fill in initial assessment forms for a child considered to be at risk

The same paper reports that

Police who discovered the missing schoolgirl Shannon Matthews after a 24-day search told a jury yesterday that she whimpered and burst into tears on her release from inside a bed drawer, while her suspected kidnapper screamed at officers and tried to bite them.
Detective Constable Paul Kettlewell said that a child's voice sobbing "stop it, you're frightening me" had alerted a search party to what they found in what was initially thought to be an empty flat just over a mile from the nine-year-old schoolgirl's home

The Telegraph reports that

Prostitute clients to face hefty fines in law change

New laws will make it illegal to pay for sex with women "controlled for another person's gain" such as a pimp, trafficker or brothel owner.
They will receive a criminal record and a large fine and will have no defence by claiming they did not know the woman was controlled.
But the plans will stop short of a blanket ban on paying for sex

The Independent adds that

An estimated 100,000 men pay for sex in Britain every year, the vast majority of whom will be targeted by legislation being announced today by the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith. At least 80,000 women work in the vice trade – most foreign nationals – and the numbers are thought to be growing.

Deflation is the new bogey word as crunch sends prices tumbling

The spectre of 1930s-style deflation in the British economy loomed yesterday after figures showed that prices of many goods slumped last month as recession tightened its grip.
Consumer price inflation posted its biggest drop since records began in 1992, falling to 4.5 per cent last month from a 16-year peak of 5.2 per cent in September.

The Express says

Families were given a double dose of joy yesterday as official figures showed that food and petrol prices are finally falling.
The statistics revealed that consumer price inflation has plunged by its biggest monthly amount for 16 years.

Many of the papers report that

The most spectacular prize in maritime history was anchored off Somalia last night with a rag-tag army of pirates holding the world's largest oil producer to ransom.
Despite a day of loud condemnation from international leaders and a multinational fleet of warships on patrol, the pirates showed they were able to strike at will by seizing two more vessels while the hijacked Saudi supertanker was parked off Haradheere on the Somali coast.

says the Independent

The Times says that

The Somali pirates who hijacked the Saudi oil super-tanker Sirius Star have demanded a ransom, according to a purported mastermind of the daring heist.
"Negotiators are located on board the ship and on land. Once they have agreed on the ransom, it will be taken in cash to the oil tanker," said a man identified as Farah Abd Jameh on Al-Jazeera television, who did not indicate the amount to be paid.

£50m reward for the 'greedy' bank bosses reports the Mail

Banking chiefs have been accused of bringing the economy to the edge of collapse through their 'excessive greed'.
The top executives of just five banking giants were paid more than £50million in five years, according to a think-tank report.
And the authors say this is a conservative estimate, as it only includes their basic pay and bonuses.

According to the Sun

AN extraordinary account from a German army medic has finally confirmed what the world long suspected: Hitler only had one ball.
War veteran Johan Jambor made the revelation to a priest in the 1960s, who wrote it down.
The priest’s document has now come to light – 23 years after Johan’s death.
The war tyrant’s medical condition has been mocked for years in a British song

Finally the Independent reveals that

the Houses of Parliament really are full of vermin

Records obtained by The Independent under the Freedom of Information Act show that £60,000 was spent last year on eradicating unwanted visitors from Westminster, including foxes from the gardens of No 10 and the adjoining Cabinet Office and the "hygienic removal" of two dead pigeons from the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF).
